is no honest chance to assuage it we do
as the beasts do, take what we want
from those who have it. They won't
let it be earned, so they must expect to
have it stolen. In some of the States
the processes of reform are begun and
self-support is provided for as soon as
the convict begins to do his time De-
pendent upon good conduct and works
meet for repentance, he is promoted
until he Is taken out of the actual prison
and enters a reformatory institution,
which is a world in miniature. Here
are trades to be learned and practiced,
schools to attend, religious exercises to
share, cares for and interest In others,
nothing being omitted which belongs to
virtuous and upright contact between
fellow-men. In such a life their Grim
inal experience falls into receding per
spective, and is dimly recalled like a
sickness long passed by. Every virtuous
purpose is strengthened, manhood is
encouraged, evil appetites succumb to
the discipline of disuse, and the convict
feels that he is again a man for whom
the world has place in it's earnest and
useful work. 1t is carefully estimated
that every man so reclaimed saves to
the State So ,000.-[S. F. Alta

Cable Projects, Etc.

So far as is known at Victoria, B. c.,
matters connected with the proposed
Pacific cable remain in statu quo, nor is
anything whatever known about the
alleged intention to run line of steam
ers between that point and the Austria

served for the remote future, so far as is
known locally. Such is the report of an

II. B. NJ. S. Cormorant, a sister ship
to the Wild Swan, arrived here yes
terday morning, 10 days from Esqui-
mault, B. c. The Cormorant is a COM
posite sloop of 1,13O tons, and with en-
gines of $50 horsepower. She was COM
missioned at Portsmouth May 26, 1885.
She sailed from Esquimault, B. c., on
August 3Oth at 10 o'clock a. m. Sailed
most of the way. Had two days OF
calms. 1t is not known how long the
Cormorant will remain here, but on
leaving will sail for South America. Last
Saturday, while en- route for this port,
the Cormorant steamed at the rate of II
knots per hour for nearly "A hours. On

The President ON Horseback.


The president, it is said, has yielded to the
advice Of his friends, and will take to horse
manship as a means of exercise. Secretaries
Bayard, Lamar, Whitney. and Fairchild have
described to him the benefit they derive from
equestrianisn, and he has consented to join
them in some Of their ga lops across the coun-
try. Secretary Bayard rides big bay horse
with banged tail, and every fair afternoon
be joins Secretary Fairchild or George Ban
croft, the venerable historian, in canter
through the soldiers home and the adjacent
roads. Secretary Whitney usually rides with
party of young people, and none OF them
enjoys a squirt more than he does Secretary
Lamar directs his horse to be saddled and at
his office every clear afternoon at 4:30 o'clock,
from whence he explores the surrounding
country until it is time to return home for
dinner.
Mrs Cleveland is said to be delighted with
the idea of her husband taking to horseback
riding, and she promises to join him in the
sport She has attended both Of the recent
paper chases," and is ambitious to join some
of the gay riding parties which are constantly
being made up in society. A well known
New York instructor i'll hOrsemanship, who
is now in this city, has formed large class
in fashionable circles, which has given quite
boom to horseback riding. The seal browns
are not well adapted for saddle horses, and
early additions to the White House stables
may be looked for.-Baltimore Sun.

To old residents this may seem like
platitude, but those who have travelled
will not be 10th to realize that the es-
tablishment of that fact in commercial
centers far remote from this is distinct
gain. To what proportion of the civil
lied world has Hawaii hitherto been
aught but a name? And what is the
proportion now? Data are wanting, but
could we see ourselves in the same ratio
of social, commercial and international
Importance as others see us, to what
depths of relative insignifcance might
we not descend?

CONVICT RECLAMATION.

The differences in men are not wiped
out by their fall into crime or misfortune.
Some can rally again and reinstate their
characters or their fortunes, while others
stay down. So the ranks of the INDECENT
and the criminal offer always an inviting
field to the good hearted who are mind
full of the weaknesses of humanity and
sympathetic in its misfortunes, for in
those ranks are many poor, who, slightly
helped, will soon be self-supporting, and
many fallen in crime who can be
strengthened forward to reform. Our
prisons are filed with the corrigible and
the incorrigible. The law makes no dis
tinction between them, for at the end of
sentence each walks out free and warden
and turnkey let them pass, as they must
not distinguish between the one who has
his minds eye on criminal job, to
which his hand will be turned in few
hours, and the other who peers into a
frowning world, wondering if it will let
him earn honest bread and eat it in
peace.
Under our prison system, reform must
be largely self-impelled, for there is not
much chance to prepare for honest self
support after the gates are passed. In a
few hours hunger begins to press and
snaw. We have hunger in common
with the beasts that perish, and if there
